Spider bites are reported, but often aren’t even bites, at all. As WJBF News Channel 6's Cory McGinnis explains, doctors warn that you shouldn’t be too quick to blame a spider for that sore.
Ask some people and they’ll tell you it’s the “season of the spider.” Even doctors in our area have confirmed more than normal reports of spider bites.
Doctor Switzer admits it is hard to determine the difference between MRSA and a spider bite. Both often begin with a little red bump on your skin.
Bugman Anthony Hutto has been getting rid of critters for the past 5 years. He says spiders need lots of moisture to survive, so to prevent a bite, keep your drainage area's closed.
Hutto: "Any crack that you can find outside, behind the rain spouts behind the drain spouts, below, under the porch, any little crack you can find that's we're they'll be."
Dr. Switzer says the best way to treat a bite or any bump that may appear is to wash it with soap and water first, don't use alcohol or peroxide and if the bump on your skin appears to grow rapidly, seek medical attention.
